2. Q1. HOW DOESYOUR PRODUCT USE OR CHALLENGE CONVENTIONS
AND HOW DOES IT REPRESENT SOCIAL GROUPS OR ISSUES?
!
Our Product firstly uses the Thriller convention of low key lighting throughout the whole opening sequence.This can
be shown in the screenshot from the first scene of our opening sequence.
Our Product further use’s Thriller conventions with a stellar use of the convention of Mystery.This is a key theme to
the whole plot our of opening sequence as you never work out the mystery of what exactly is in the boot of the car.
The soundtrack used in our product largely conforms to the dark and airy soundtrack that is conventional to the
Thriller genre. Our soundtrack has very spine chilling violin cords mixed in with a mild, deep percussion to really
consolidate our dark and fatalistic mood of the opening sequence.
The editing used is largely conventional to the thriller genre. It is of a very slow paced, which conforms to setting a
suspenseful atmosphere use of cutaways to show reaction shots and therefore portray action that is always prominent
in the Thriller genre.

3. Q HOW DOESYOUR PRODUCT REPRESENT
SOCIAL GROUPS OR ISSUES?
Our product represents the social group of young delqiuents or hoodlums.Young adults
that are fresh out of school or have just dropped out and given up. And spend a life of
committing crime to try make money. Our product represents this social group firstly
because of the costuming used.They wear rugged clothes with hoods to try cover there
identity , they do this because they are delinquents and criminals. For example one of
the main characters bemer always wears a hat to constantly cast a shadow over his
face.
The characters actions and dialogue in our product represent this social group of
delinquents and the social issue of organised crime that no one seems to be convicted
for. In terms of dialogue they swear at each other aggressively and Bemer talks about his
experience in crime, therefore representing the social issue of how prominent crime is
in our society. There actions in the sequence is them committing a crime, that we never
find out what the crime acutely is.These actions therefore convey the social group of
delinquents.
